How about a compromise; ban all bicycles from BV and Morse Blvds except in the MMP lane. We don't allow bicyclists on interstates for their own safety. The same should apply on these blvds, especially with the roundabouts. There are plenty of country roads around the villages that the bicyclists could ride on.

Do you realize that Buena Vista and Morse are county roads and "The Villages" (neither the residential or commercial CDDs, nor the Developer) doesn't have any say in the roads? If you want to spend your time tilting at windmills in Tallahassee, go for it.

So in other words, kick all the bicycles off of TV roads and relegate them to country roads that are also too narrow to pass within the lane. Make it someone else's problem, and not yours.

You can't rewrite the laws to suit your own purpose. The only thing you can do is work to change them. And I imagine that wouldn't work, as bicycles have been legal on roadways since their beginning.
